Chapter 824: Article and Yelu Sledgehammer

Liao State went to Beijing. Spring has already started in late February, but it is still very cold.

"I'm afraid the actor will be abolished this time."

"Kouhu, this time it is an athlete gathering an army on the Song-Liao border, and it is not aimed at Western Xia."

"At this juncture, the hunter went fishing. Old Xiao Xiangye is estimated to be crying blind. ”

The decadent literati of the Liao Kingdom gathered in a tavern to discuss in this cold weather.

Now Liaoguo is like this, the atmosphere of the forum is not as warm as that of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is all black talk.

They called the Emperor of the Song Kingdom the King of Football or an athlete. Call the Tianzuo Emperor of Liao a hunter or a fisherman. As for the Li Qianshun in Western Xia, he is called the actor or the diplomatic emperor. The reason is that Li Qianshun wants to strengthen the country and doesn't have much ability, he can only act all day long, he can only fool diplomatically, and in the early years, he also had the bad deeds of deceiving the Liao clan beauty Yelu Nanxian into marriage and going to Western Xia.

These are the things that the actor loves to do, and the ancient concept of the embassy may have been made by the actor. Because he sent Li Xianyao of Western Xia to stay in Shangjing.

Xiao's inner bottom tolerates Li Xianyao in that he Xiao Li has no sense of existence, he is not mainstream, his official position is inconspicuous, and he does not represent the real national policy of Western Xia. So, Lao Xiao, who doesn't like to make trouble, usually treats Li Xianyao as a mallet with a diplomatic passport, just let him go, and do whatever he likes.

"So is this the reason why the actor uses Lee Hyun-yao? Just because he is low-key and unobtrusive? There were also Khitan literati with funny hair who asked about this.

Then the discussion began, and more black words flew all over the sky.

The Liao State has no freedom of speech than the Great Song Dynasty because of this virtue, so now these literary youths also like Western Xia, and Western Xia has human rights.

It is rumored that the people of Daxixia can say whatever they want, so much so that now the focus of the people in Kyoto is focused on the low-key Li Qianshun and Li Xianyao.

The so-called actor Li Qianshun is going to be planted, which is the first news from the people of Western Xia. Because they have freedom of speech, and there are also many foreign literary youths who travel to Xixia in poverty, so the news of Xixia can spread to the world as soon as possible......

A Han man dressed in the costume of an ordinary merchant entered the tavern diagonally opposite the entrance of the central well.

The article is a small guy, with the round face of the Han businessman's usual harmonious smile, and no beard.

People of this era did not like to shave, so some people suspect that this man's predecessor was a eunuch. And in fact, the article is not a eunuch, he is just helping the eunuch do things.

Yes, the article was compiled by the Imperial City Division of the Great Song Dynasty, and the law belonged to the general manager of Liang Shicheng, and he was also a subordinate of Liu Fa and a subordinate of the Seed Master. However, he is now the "head of the intelligence station in Liaoguo".

The Imperial City Division is a secret agency, so even in ancient times, there were so-called foreign intelligence stations, at most they were just called by another name.

Of course, for such an institution to really play a role, it depends on the policy and who is in charge. In the old days that must have been and dilute mud. But later, the policy atmosphere changed, and under Gao Fangping's tutelage, Lao Liang's methods and ideas still have some ideas, so now the intelligence station is not completely messed up.

Therefore, it can also be said that the current policy of the Imperial City Division is being formulated by Gao Fangping, because Gao Fangping is the boss of Liang Shicheng, the governor of the Imperial City Division. The senior scholar of the palace is actually Zhao Ji's chief of staff, and of course he also manages Zhao Ji's own "secret service" by the way.

In the Song Kingdom, in fact, the initial form of this intelligence work was first carried out by sinister people like Lu Huiqing, and then it slowly became a tradition.

Fortunately, the politics of the Great Song Dynasty did not like control and conspiracy, so the Imperial City Division was always limited and did not become a thing of Jinyi Weidong Factory and West Factory.

The Liao State is one of the countries that likes to emulate and absorb the advanced culture of the Song Kingdom, and there is no one. Therefore, they have learned from each other, in addition to the Liao people street in the Daimyo's mansion, there must also be an organization such as the intelligence station in Bianjing.

The article has been in Beijing in the Liao Kingdom for many years, and he is a frequent visitor here, so he went upstairs and entered the private room as soon as he came, and then the Khitan girl in this store would go to serve him to eat and drink.

In the eyes of the girl, she doesn't talk much, she is a good person, and she will give a good tip.

Someone came to the private room after a while, it was a big Khitan man, and he was also a nobleman and a person in the palace in Liao. In the Song Kingdom, people called this kind of role "Imperial City Envoy".

After coming in and sitting down, he took a bowl of wine in one breath, and the big Khitan man wiped the wine from his mouth with his sleeve and said, "The impact is not good, you shouldn't make an appointment with me casually at this time." ”

"The problem is that you seem to be looking for death, and now the news is very chaotic, some say that it is a rebellion within the Liao State, and some say that the Western Xia is dying." The article frowned and said, "Do you have any news?" ”

"No, no, no, this is your own Song Guo's business, I have no news. Don't just say that the Liao State rebelled and the Western Xia died. The guy from the Liao State Intelligence said, "I still have news, this time it is someone from within your Song Kingdom who has died." ”

The article took a sip of wine and pondered, and then said: "Xiao Guanhai does not allow anyone to hold back, now his eyebrows are burned, and the armies of the two countries are urgently assembling because of this matter, no matter how you look at it, it is not a good thing." If you don't give me any news about this, it won't be good for me to go to Xiao's inside. ”

Ye Luyuan shook his hand and said: "No, no, no, your existence does not conform to the official reason, and you can't see Xiao Xiang in a grand manner." Because the situation is so chaotic now, how dare I talk nonsense? Even if I have some information, but these unconfirmed news tell you that if it really has any serious consequences, I don't know how my whole family died. ”

Ye Luyuan hesitated for a moment and said: "Under the escort of my Da Liao Iron Cavalry, isn't there any danger in the envoys of the Song State, although Gao Fangping has disappeared, but the Song envoys Tong Guan and Liu Zhengfu have all entered Shangjing, maybe you should ask your own officials of the Song State, it is difficult to say what news there will be." ”

The article said: "You also said that I am not in line with the official reasons here, and I am not in line with the face of the two countries, so I can't go to meet them." ”

Ye Luyuan spread his hands and said: "Then grandpa, I can't help it, I can only wait and see this matter, who dares to talk nonsense now." At that time, Xiao Yan was the main general who rescued the Song envoy, and after defeating the assassin army, it was now Xiao Yan who was also in the mud, and on the grounds that he could not recognize the characteristics in the dark night, he actually said that it was a horse thief army of unknown origin and unknown number. So now the problem is big, Xiao's inner bottom has been completely angry, you know, Lao Guanhai never waited to see the enemy martyrdom, and he came to raise the Jurchen department. This time, there is also news that it is a rebellion of the enemy martyrs, so there are all kinds of confusion at this juncture, and everyone is afraid that if they say the wrong word, they will be used by Lao Xiao as an excuse to kill the enemy martyrs! Spicy, in terms of Li Yan's old minister's policy, he wants to raise the enemy martyrs and destroy the Jurchen tribe. So, Xiao Yan, as Lao Guanhai's nephew, changed his words and said that he couldn't see the situation clearly in the dark, and now the problem is big, I am just an imperial city envoy, how dare I break the news now? Obviously, now is the political battle between Li Yan and Xiao, and no matter what the outcome is, it is likely that one side will shed blood. What do you want me to say at this juncture? ”

Li Yan is Yelu Yan. He was given the surname Yelu by the Liao Dao Sect, but there are still many people who like to call him Li Yan to distinguish him from the Khitan people.

The article frowned and said, "Damn, it's really messy enough." However, the envoys of the Song State have nothing to do, and it is not only your leather room military department and the Shan military department that are fighting against the thief army, but also my big pork Ping Xiangye's personal soldier Tiger Head Battalion, as well as Tong Guan, and Liu Zhengfu. In terms of the analysis of who the enemy army is, Xiao Yan didn't dare to speak as a native of Liao, didn't Tong Guan and Liu Zhengfu dare either? ”

Yeluyuan shrugged and said, "I don't know about this. Maybe they were busy running for their lives when they were panicked, and they didn't have any experience, and maybe something happened, Li Yan didn't let them talk after consulting with them, and maybe Xiao's thoughts changed. It is for these reasons that I said that you Song Guo itself also has internal problems. ”

After thinking for a long time, the article nodded and said, "That's right." As soon as they fought, Liu Zhengfu and they would definitely not be able to escape, it was just Song Jun himself and Tong Guan, they had limited understanding of the characteristics of the complex Liao tribes, they were in a panic, in the dark, and it was difficult to say if they had no experience. And even if they knew, their right to speak was limited, and now that major events are involved, it is difficult for their words to really become evidence to correct the rebellion. ”

"So what else do you want me to report, I expect a lot, but I really don't have anything to report." Ye Luyuan said with a smile.

"One last question. What has that Li Xianyao been doing in Western Xia lately? The article took a sip of wine.

"I didn't see him doing anything, but there is news that he has secretly met Xiao Helu many times." Yelu Yuan Dao.

The article frowned and said, "So, who has Lord Xiao Helu seen?" ”

Ye Luyuan immediately shook his hand and said: "No, no, no, I don't know about this, although I mentioned Lord Xiao Helu, it doesn't mean that I am spying on Xiao Linya, I just accidentally saw it when I was spying on Li Xianyao." You know, just like you, I can't just inquire about the news of the Great Liao Linya. Absolutely no one likes to do this kind of thing, the so-called "Hundred Officials' Observations" is really not a handle or something, but something that touches and dies, and it has been like this throughout the ages. ”

The article said: "When you fool said this, on the contrary, I listened, like Xiao Helu had really seen some sensitive people? ”

"That's what you think, not what I think." Jerod got up and wanted to leave.

The article yawned and said: "I'm tired and want to sleep, don't leave yet, guard me." It's dangerous now, and I don't know how I'd die without your protection. I only trust you. ”

Yelu Yuan said: "This is the Great Liao Kingdom in Beijing, there won't be outlaws who shoot you with a divine arm crossbow, right?" ”

When the article lay down to sleep, he said: "Who knows, your capital has been attacked by horse thieves, where does it come from?" Don't be picky, trust me, you'll need my help someday. ”

Ye Luyuan said embarrassedly: "Khan, isn't Chenliu County next to Bianjing also broken by the thief army, I heard that Gao Fangping went to quell the chaos." ”

"That's different, don't think that Bianjing is equal to Bianjing, of course the county seat and the capital are different." The article fell asleep and said: "It's so tiring to do this job, and I haven't slept for a few days in the current tense situation." I have to be careful, I always feel like there's someone else who has something to do. ”

Yeluyuan had no choice but to sit down, put his hammer on the table, and began to drink.

His sledgehammer is similar to Li Yuanba's, but it is actually hollow. Yeluyuan can't swim, and if he accidentally falls into the river with a hammer, the hammer will float up like a life jacket, and it's easy to use.

There was once a group of horse thieves and robbers, I heard that it was composed of several warriors of the Tianhu Department, thirty people and thirty horsemen fought thousands of miles in the Liao border, and where they passed, many tribes and herdsmen were victimized, and they had to take the initiative to contribute good horses in order to avoid persecution.

The gang was nowhere to be found, it was difficult to catch, and no one knew where they had stolen the horses and sold them. The biggest possibility is, of course, the Yanjing black market, and in the end, there will be powerful people smuggling it to the Song Kingdom to make a profit.

Those fierce horse thieves don't go to rob the enemy and the Jurchens and the like. As for many other tribes, like the Khitan, they have begun to sprout, and they have no combat power and no resistance.

The leather room army and the Shan army have no way to take those horse thieves, but it is the article that provides reliable information, and the group of horse thieves of the Song Kingdom who moved thousands of miles to the Liao border were served by the leather room army.

So in that matter, the Imperial City of Liao made Yelu Yuan owe this Song State spy a great favor, and now he has to sleep with him. This is called friendship and basic affection.

In fact, the common people of Liao State are very fond of the Great Song Dynasty now, because there are many robbers of Liao State who defected to Liangshan of Song State, so there are many peaceful lives in Liao State.

In order to demonstrate the prosperity of the Celestial Empire, the Liao State had had enough of those horse thieves who attacked the capital at will, so the Pi Room Army and the Shan Army ruthlessly suppressed the bandits and carried out several massacres.

The massacre really worked, and the surviving horse thieves went to Liangshan to follow Song Jiang to farm. Khan, the leader of the big thieves, Song Jiang, is now a well-known farmer, and I heard that he inherited pork ping.

And the one who provided the news and finally exterminated these horse thieves seemed to be Ye Luyuan, the envoy of the Great Liao Imperial City, but it was actually the article of the head of the Song State in the Liao State.

The news of the article came from the Great Song Imperial City Division, and there were many news channels for the Great Song Imperial City Division, but the most useful news was obtained through Gao Fangping's dark line to find Song Jiang Yanqing.

Song Jiang's tease is more insidious than anyone else, he is definitely a robber leader who knows the inside story of the gangster cottage best in this era. It's a pity that the proper enemy was in the first row, and all the robbers, regardless of nationality, were packaged and sold by Comrade Song Jiang for their future official positions.

Through the news of Gao Fangping, a traitor of the Great Song Dynasty, Xiao's achievements in suppressing bandits were also beginning to bear fruit, so he told Emperor Liao that the situation was very good, and Emperor Liao was very happy about this. So Lao Xiao actually really likes his foreign friend Gao Fangping. These two traitors are really allies. Like the article Yeluyuan, the relationship between Gao Fangping and Lao Xiao is also a relationship.

It's the same thing under the sun, the world is really small, and there are actually a group of acquaintances in a few specific circles, whether it is a bandit circle, an intelligence circle, a business circle, or a bureaucratic circle.

Yeluyuan and the article have always been desperate. Because they are the group of people who know the truth best in this world, they feel that the world is ruined, but there are some things that they can't say.

When you go out with friends, you have to be careful about everything. The only friend of the article is a native of Liao, nicknamed Yelu Sledgehammer.

Several veterans who had followed the article from the Northwest Battlefield later were also subordinates of this intelligence station, but they all died one after another. However, Liang Shicheng did not admit that there were such people, so it was only a few Hanwa who did not have a hukou and died in Liao......
